Tucson Brain Injury Lawyers

Information, Representation, Results

Car accidents, sporting accidents, violence — even a simple fall on a hard surface can result in a serious brain injury.

Brain injuries are a silent epidemic in this country. The Brain Injury Association of America reports that 1.4 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year in the United States.

About Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury is one caused by a blow to the head hard enough to cause a temporary or permanent disruption of brain function. Symptoms of TBI range from a headache after a mild concussion to coma and death.

TBIs can cause problems with memory, cognitive skills, balance, personality changes, ability to concentrate, sensory disorders, and physical coordination, among many others.

Brain Damage Due to Lack of Oxygen

Anoxic and hypoxic brain injuries occur when the brain does not get enough (hypoxia) or any (anoxia) oxygen. Near drowning, strangulation, medical malpractice and birth injuries account for many of these cases.

At Kinerk, Schmidt & Sethi, PLLC, our personal injury lawyers help people living with brain injury get the information, services and financial compensation they need.

We refer clients to neuropsychologists, neurologists and other medical experts who can identify the physical damage that has been done and recommend appropriate therapies.

Our attorneys work with life care planners to determine the current and future financial costs caused by the brain injury. Then we pursue full financial compensation.

Because of emotional, cognitive and memory changes, a person with a brain injury can seem like a stranger to his or her family. We often refer family members to support groups or mental health professionals who understand the issues they are struggling with.
